TESTING
For Service Technician Use Only
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Only authorized technicians should perform
diagnostic voltage measurements.
After performing voltage measurements,
disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.
Diverter Motor
This test will check the wiring to the diverter motor and the
diverter motor itself. The following items are part of the
diverter motor circuit.
n Harness/Connecon
n Diverter Motor
n Diverter Posion Switch (see test on following page)
n Control Board
Test Procedure
1. Check for operaon in Diagnosc Cycle. Listen for cam
clicking as it rotates—or inspect sha with mirror to see
it rotang during diverter interval. If diverter is rotang,
the likely problem is with the diverter sensor (see test
procedure on following page). Verify that diverter disk is
properly installed on sha.
2. Are all the loads controlled by TRIACs not working?
¾ YES – check for open door switch, TRIAC fuse, or pilot
relay.
¾ NO – just the diverter valve. Go to step 3.
Strip Circuit – Diverter Motor
3. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
4. Remove toe and access panels to access control board.
5. Unplug connector P7 from control board.
6. Check the diverter motor—using an ohmmeter, measure
the resistance between P7-4 and P7-6.
¾ If the resistance is between 1300-1600 ohms, the
diverter motor and harness are good. Go to step 7.
¾ If outside the range, replace the diverter assembly.
¾ If an open circuit is detected, check connecons and
harness connuity between control and diverter
assembly. If good, replace the diverter assembly.
7. Reconnect P7 to control board.
8. Set voltmeter to AC and connect leads to test-pads P10-
1 & P7-6 on the control board. Plug in dishwasher or
reconnect power.
9. Start the Diagnosc Cycle and at the proper interval
measure for AC out of the control between P10-1 & P7-6.
(Refer to Diverter Motor Strip Circuit below.)
IMPORTANT: The Diverter Motor must be connected to
the control board to measure voltage accurately!!!
¾ If no AC voltage is measured, replace the control board
and retest.
¾ If 120 VAC is measured and diverter is rotang, go to
step 10.
10. Perform Diagnosc Cycle to verify repair.
¾ If diverter error sll exists, perform diverter sensor test
procedure on following page.
11. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
12. Reassemble all parts and panels.
13. Plug in dishwasher or reconnect power.
